About Me

I am the proud pet-parent to the ever loving Bear. Bear is a Northern Mutt who just happened to fall into my lap one cold October day. He was tiny and badly injured and for a while, there was a great deal of uncertainty as to whether or not he would survive to the end of the month. But survive he did. Bear has brought a great deal of love and happiness into my life. He is a wonderful companion and the most loving friend.
